The accompanying: drawing, therefore, is submitted, merely'as showing the preferred exemplifcation of the invention. f
Referring'in Vdetail to the drawing, I0 denotes a deviceembodyingthe invention. vThe include a bag II of. any suitable pliable or flexible material, preferably'fleather, and having aV pair ofieach other, these walls vbeing continuously 'interconnected to provide a pocket I4, accessible through an opening extending along partiallyrdown the ends of they bag. Y :'Associated with thebag II is a relatively rigid frame which may include'one or moreLframe. elements such as'the channel members I5, I6, eachv ofrwhich may be a duplicate ofthe other. De-
sirably` the channelmembers are movable toward` andiaway from eachother to close and open the bag, landthey may be pivotally interconnected as at Il. pThe channel members may be of regular orginverted type, .but the latter best exemplifies the. advantages of the invention; and the channelsI may be of any suitable shape, it being zsuii.- cient that sharp corners transverse of the ,chan- In the channels, themarginalV duplicates.

l Extending continuously along, the (channel members is -any well which may include a ably engaginghooks 2 I, each vseries being mount; ed Aon itsindi'vidualone of the stringers 22, 23.v The slide fastener may extendto the regionof the frame pivots I'I, andmay befnishedtheremanner as by outv vard,pro. jecting end portionsof the stringers-atZI, in.l

Vchannel members affording positions lrelativetothe slide 2 channel members, so as to constitute a continuous longitudinal bridge therebetween, with the lateral support for the slide fastener to prevent ,undue distortion thereof or of the stringers. The in' vention also provides for the Vdirect clamped engagement of the stringers in the channel members. Since the stringers are preferably made of a textilefabric, or other thin and rather hard or incompressible pliablematerial, they will slip out of the Vchannel members when subjected to strain. If the channel members be clamped sufficiently tight to securely lhold the stringers, l:
fabric, such asleath-` n i -te-rior or base of the pleat, and in Fig. 5, this Astrip is-near the outer viiange I9, because the the relatively soft handbag a er, will be unduly compressed and weakened; and sometimes even cut.
I have found that this defect can beremedied I rstrips of a by securing as by stitchingat 21, relatively compressible frictional materialZ suchas leather, longitudinally along the marginsV4 of the stringers, these, strips preferably facing the inner flanges 29 ofthe channel members and having at least partial contact with the marginal portions. of the bag walls. These strips28 are wholly contained in thechannels, near the; lower parts thereof,V so as to be'concealedin the channel members.V
Hence it will be seen thatr Ihave provided means whereby relatively softco'mpressible and relatively hard, thin incompressible elements: may be secured in the channel members with` out damage to the former, this principle being of generalapplication, but having especialadvantagey in connection with a vslide fastenerA Stringer which must of necessity bevv both Ythin andvery strong, so that the hooks can be reliably anchored thereto, without producing tears in the Stringer and Without rendering the. slide fastener bulky. VThe invention permits a hand-r bag to .be fabricated ywith the Stringer beingv separate of' the bag` wall', inv other.V words un` connected thereto, so Vthat the bag wall and' Stringer can be separately inserted into the chan-- nel' for theclamping operation. Hence a rapid fabrication is obtained, as between'the bag wallY and the-y strong non stretching Stringer avoided, andthe fold at 3li1v be made neat 'and even, by the stringer, whichl'is' into the channel, prior tov in the' bag wall may without' interference thereafter inserted the clamping. It will be appreciated that the stringers 22, 23 are representative of one or more provided, they? naps, and where two of them are may be'considered asfl'exible marginal portions along the stiff edges vof the bag "opening, and releasably lsecured together by any suitablemeans such as the hooks 2|'. l.
The slidel fastener stringers 22, 23 may-over' lie the inner Vianges 29'of the' channel members,
and the closed position 4of the slide fastener, the channel members are spaced from each other to a greater or less degree depending'on the width of' theY exposed portions of the stringers. Thusy the normal capacity of the Vbag is materially inf creased.` lThechannel members, inl their flanking fastener, f support, and maintain', the same uniform.

itl is Avunnecessary. 'that the innerv4 flanges shallilie.,

the bag' if the handbag wallsbe provided with a pleat 3| or the like,l for added bag capacity, or for increased strength or fo'r decorative purposes, such pleat may be continued to a margin of the bag for ease in manufacture, and may be directly clamped in the channels.
For more specifically illustrating the advantage mentioned, I show the pleat structure 3l, as embodied in a bag wall consisting of two sections having spaced marginal portions 32 folded away V`from each other 'and Llying in the same plane, a backing strip of material 33 being stitched 'at 34 to the portions 32. In Fig. l, the rstrip 33 is observedv asv forming the inwall'is folded over said flange. By this stitching does not appear on bag against opening up along the bag. The pleat structure may ofcourse be sewedfmto the bottom 3 5.of the4 bag in-.any'suitable manner. The channel member thus receives threev thicknesses of bag wall material, so that when the Vchannel is.A clamped a bulge B occurs therein 'at the pleat structure. In a conventional type ,of bag, this. would cause great difficulty, because if the bulgeV werefinward, the channel frames would notmeet uniformly for continuously tightly closing .the handbag.v` If the bulge. were outward, the bag would show the' bulge on the outside and the bag material would wear rapidly, and lose. its finish at thebulgel.By this invention, the bulge may extend inward,jthe spacing between the channels affording ample clearance for receptionrof theA bulge or otherV irregularity..
